Big Chunk Of The Universe Is Missing — Again

The same UAH (University of Alabama at Huntsville) group that found what was theorized to be a significant fraction of the “missing mass” that binds together the universe has discovered that some x-rays thought to come from intergalactic clouds of “warm” gas are instead probably caused by lightweight electrons.

If the source of so much x-ray energy is tiny electrons instead of hefty atoms, it is as if billions of lights thought to come from billions of aircraft carriers were found instead to come from billions of extremely bright fireflies.
